PowerXplorer description
CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
TM
The Dranetz-BMI PowerXplorer quality meter/monitor. This cutting-edge power quality instrument is designed with a color liquid crystal display (LCD) 1/4 VGA, using touch screen technology. It can monitor, record and display data on four voltage channels and four current channels simultaneously.
PX5 is designed to meet bo th the I EEE 1 159 and I EC 61000-4- 30 Class A s tandards for accuracy and measurement requi re me nts . It can do PQ-opt imized acquisition of power quality related disturbances and events. It is designed with a statistical package called Quality of Supply ( QOS), with monitor ing an d s etup pr otocol s set to de termi ne volt age measurement compliance required for EN50160 monitoring. European standard EN50160 requires that measurement parameters must be within a specified percentage for 95% of the time.
PX5 is a portable, hand-held, eight-channel power
PX5 Firmware
PowerXplorer PX5 is available in two models:
• Model PX5-XFAST is equipped with the high speed sampling analog board for microsecond transient de tection digi tization and analysis. The PX5-XFAST performs measurements for 50/60 Hz power frequency systems.
• Model PX5-400 performs measurements for 400 Hz power frequency systems. The PX5-400 will also monit or at 50/ 60 Hz. The user n eeds to s et the default frequency to either 400 Hz, 60 Hz or 50 Hz, depending on the application. When ope ra ti ng at 400 Hz, rms calculations are made on a c ycle-by- cycle bas is with 1 cy cle step; whereas at 50/60 Hz mode, it steps at 1/2 Hz. Also, the PX5-400 does not calculate the IEEE 1459 power parameters as well as flicker, which are not defined at 400 Hz.
The firmware for the PX5 is contained on intern al FLASH memory. It has an operating system capable of performing multiple applications. When an updated version of the firmware is released, the user can upgrade the internal program by putting the latest PX5 firmware program card in the appropriate slot of the mainframe. See page 1-10
for instructions on how to upgrade PX5 firmware from a data card.
The PX5 firmware can monitor power quality phenomena for troubleshooting and/or compliance purposes. It can record inrush conditions, carry out long-term statistical studies to establish performance baselines, and perform field-based equipment testing and evaluation for commissioning and maintenance. The firmware integrates an intuitive instrument setup procedure to ensure the capture of all relevant data for additional post process analysis, report writing, and data archiving using other compatible Dranetz-BMI software applications such as NodeLink
®
and DranView®.

PX5 Features
PX5 Features
Touch screen function
Scope mode
Meter mode
Harmonics
All PX5 functions described below are operable using a color LCD touch screen technology. Users may use a finger and/or a PDA stylus to apply pressure to the LCD screen to result in touch screen recognition. The touch screen display is also workable with lineman gloves on. Touch screen buttons will appear in reverse-video to show visual feedback of contact along with audible feedback. In order to reduce power consumption, the backlight of the LCD screen times-out after a specified programmable time of no user activity. The backlight reactivates by touching any part of the scre en.
Scope mode functions as an oscilloscope, displaying real-time waveforms of voltage and current for up to eight channels simultaneously, with one second update rate. The colors of waveform dis play are user pr ogrammable. Scope mode al so provi des a textual display of rms values, division for axis values, and frequency.
Meter mode functions as a true rms voltmeter and a true rms clamp-on ammeter. Voltage and current measurements, along with other calculated and advanced power parameters, are displayed on the Meter mode screens in both textual and graphical format.
Harmonics display the amplitude and phase of each harmonic to the 63rd harmonic in both graphical and textual format.
Phasor diagram
Flicker
Event
1-12
The phasor screen displays a graph that indicates phase relations between voltage and current based upon the angles at the fundamental frequency, as determined by Fourier analysis. Phasor diagram displays voltage and current phasors for all channels. Functioning as a phase angle meter, the unit can display system imbalance conditions and provides such information in textual form also. The phase angle display can also verify if monitoring connections have been made correctly. Animated phasor demo rotations demonstrating resistive, inductive and capacitive loads can be displayed.
Flicker is a pheno menon due pri maril y to r apid s mall flu ctuat ions of the vol tage. Loads that exhibit continuous, rapid variations in the load current, particularly the reactive component, can cause voltage variations often referred to as flicker. Flicker is characterized by modulation at a frequency typically less than 25 Hz. Modulating signal magnitudes as low as 0.5% of the fund ament al for frequencies between 5-1 0 Hz can result in perceptible light flicker.
An event occurs when a programmed threshold limit is crossed. An event consists of the pre-trigger cycle(s), trigger cycle(s), and post-trigger cycle(s).

Monitoring capacity
Automatic setup, Wizard setup, or Advanced setup
Trend
PX5 can monitor the following power configurations:
• Single Phase • 3 Phase 2-Watt Meter Delta
• Split Phas e • Generic
• 3 Phase Delta • 2 1/2 Element without V
• 3 Phase Wye • 2 1/2 Element without V
B C
While monitoring any of the above configurations, the PX5 can also be connected to monitor neutral to ground voltage and neutral or ground current.
Setup is a configuration of parameter thresholds that control the data reco rde d by PX5. Users may perform instrument setup in three ways: via Automatic Setup which utilizes auto-configured set ti ngs and al lows users to proceed direc tl y wit h dat a moni toring; via Wizard Set up which foll ows a step- by-step se quence where users go thr ough a seri es of circuit setup screens; or via Advanced Options setup which allows users to modify trigger parameters and intervals or tweak threshold settings.
Users can generate plots for all journalled data combined with min/max recordings of that parameter. Most journal parameters have multiple channels to plot.
Reports
Data Card
Users have two options on how to view QOS compliance reports.
EN50160 displays statistical reports on QOS compliance based on an analysis of the voltage as per requirements of the EN50160 standard. Compliance data is presented in bar charts , statistical tables, and graphs. Statistical d ata is calculated on the requ i red parameters specified in EN50160 over one week interval to produce a PASS/FAIL decision of QOS compliance.
Status presents a report summary for Standard PQ, EN50160, and Motor Quality parameters via the annuncia tor panel. The panel is color c oded such that gre en indicates the parameter is within li mits and/or no events have oc curred since the last time the panel was cleared. Red indica tes the paramete r is out of limits and/or events of th at type have occurred since last cleared. Unlike the EN50160 which reports on QOS compliance on a weekly basis, Status monitors compliance continuously. There is also the option to view a parameter in more detail i.e. display its data plot, threshold values, or edit parameter/channel settings.
PX5 supports the use of Compact Flash data cards with AT LEAST 32MB storage capacity. The user replaceable data card serves as primary storage for data. Data monitoring CANNOT proceed wit hout t he data card. PX5 is desi gned to accommodate the Compact Flash card in its native format, and does not require the use of a PC card adapter. However, a PC card adapter can be used to read the data into a laptop or other computer with a PC card slot.
